Sacrificing the moon on the top of the mountain.
Compared with the brightly lit and lively cliffs on the east side, the area near the Temple of Heaven is slightly deserted.
Just after someone suddenly gave a friendly reminder, the air suddenly fell silent, and then...
The fat little Li Nu, who had her back to Zhao Rong, straightened her little face again, looking left and right very seriously to monitor the movements around her. Her pair of slender eyes would be raised from time to time, as if she was very energetic.
, looking at the surrounding things carefully, if there is any slight disturbance, the little divorced girl will look at it angrily...
She looks like an excellent little divorced woman who does her duty diligently.
Everything seemed to be back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
What? You said you just saw me dead?
Who was ‘just’? Why should someone be innocent?
Sorry...I don’t know you!
The fat little girl turned her back to the young Confucian scholar and stood guard with a very serious look, trying to get away with it.
However, the awkward and weird atmosphere on the court remained the same.
Zhao Rong, who was sitting on the steps, felt extremely embarrassed for her.
"I think the moon is already very busy, so we'd better not make things difficult for it. It all depends on man-made things."
He laughed.
Under the moonlight, the young Confucian scholar smiled like the wind, and pointed at the bright moon above his head with his hands on his knees.
It's a pity that the fat baby and the divorced girl also didn't answer.
Still facing him from behind.
As if he didn't hear anything, he pretended to concentrate on standing guard.
Even if Zhao Rong was beaten to death, she would not look back.
Zhao Rong blinked and looked at the slim back of this interesting little divorced girl.
Although her expression at this time could not be seen, the skin on the slender nape of her neck was covered with blush, extending from the base of her ears upwards...
He really estimated that this little girl must be gnashing her teeth in her heart and spitting at him to death.
A bad scholar who eavesdrops on other girls’ whispers?
Zhao Rong smiled hoarsely, shook his head, and stopped teasing this thin-skinned little girl.
However, after a while.
When the atmosphere was no longer as awkward as before, Zhao Rong thought for a while, turned to the nearest little divorced girl and whispered softly:
"By the way, can I ask a little question about your Rakubo Division? Well, I'm just curious."
The air was quiet for a moment.
The back of the fat little girl didn't move at all, but under Zhao Rong's focused gaze, at a certain moment, her little head seemed to tap slightly.
The little girl seemed to be aware of the important status of the young Confucian scholar behind her at this time. He was one of the most important people in the Dali court and a guest of the Queen Mother of her family.
"Thank you, girl." Zhao Rong didn't think too much, nodded and said:
"During the days when I came down to Dali, I often saw you, a string-stringed girl, perform a weird string-stringed ceremony, and often recite a sentence..."
He paused for a moment and muttered softly: "The bright moon is divided into two parts, leaving and returning home... This sentence should be correct. What is the meaning of this?"
Viewed from behind, the fat little girl seemed to tilt her head slightly after hearing this.
After a while, a small voice came:
"I...I don't quite understand...the Crescent Moon Ceremony seems to be a popular ritual among our ancestors long before we left the earth. It seemed that it was originally used to worship the bright moon. Only some high-status female priests can do it.
Performing this sacrament symbolizes that the body and mind are as pure as the moonlight, a pure white virgin, and a lifelong servant of the moon."
"However, later on, this ritual gradually disappeared, and the Queen Mother established the Music Department, and re-advocated this ritual in the department, and set the rules. When the music of the Chief Music Officer is lowered, all of us string string divorcees must remember the string ritual.
."
She paused, seemed to think about it, and added:
"Legend has it that performing a string ceremony in the human world can be sensed and watched by the goddesses in the Nine Heavens Cold Palace, especially on a clear moonlit night... And being able to perform this ceremony among the ancestors of the Li clan,
It is a symbol of noble status and purity. Ordinary divorced women can perform this ceremony without permission, otherwise it will be regarded as tarnished... This is exclusive to some special divorced women among our ancestors."
Zhao Rong listened thoughtfully.
At this moment, the fat little girl seemed to be in a better mood, and said in a cheerful tone:
"So our orchestra department has inherited this gift from our ancestors and followed the ancient tradition. In addition to requiring that the string instruments' divorced girls be physically and mentally pure, our orchestra department is very strict in the selection of string instruments' divorce girls."
"Only the best and most handsome women from the land are qualified to join. There is a detailed and perfect process for etiquette and clothing, which is noble and mysterious. Well, for example...like me, that's it."
Speaking of this, the little girl couldn't help but lean back, with her little hands on her hips.
Her little chin was also raised a little proudly. At this time, she also gained some courage. She turned her head and quickly glanced at Zhao Rong.
However, after the latter heard this, he didn't pay much attention to her.
Zhao Rong lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said:
"Does your music studio's String String Li Nu... follow the tradition of the Li Ji in the ancient Li Clan? Are you targeting them? These ancient etiquettes, including the String Ritual, are all inherited?"
"Li Ji?"
The fat little Li Ji was slightly startled. She turned back to look at Zhao Rong curiously and said, "What is this? Young Master, are you saying that the special divorced women among the ancestors I just mentioned are called Li Ji?"
Zhao Rong frowned and thought.
Gui had mentioned to him before that the Li Emperor of the ancient Li clan was also the first female Sword Emperor. He was originally born as Li Ji, with no name and no surname. He was sent to the Nine Heavens Cold Palace together with the same group of Li Ji.
Goddess slave...
"Yeah." Zhao Rong nodded in agreement, "I guess, it might be."
"Li Ji..." The fat little Li girl frowned and whispered again.
She couldn't help but admired: "I seem to have heard it in the stories my grandma told before going to bed, and I don't know if it's what you said. Master, where did you see this word? Is it true?
?I grew up in Lidi, but I have no impression of him. The young master is really knowledgeable..."
Zhao Rong shook his head and said, "I just read some miscellaneous books, but I'm not sure. I'm just guessing, so I'm asking you."
The fat little girl shook her head at this moment, "I don't know either... I heard what my sisters told me, and my sisters heard what my empress told me. It was her who founded the Lefang Division and established these ancient rules.
"
"Dugu clan..."
The young Confucian scholar recited softly, then touched his chin and nodded as if to himself: "That's interesting, where did she learn all this... You all said that Dugu was the reincarnation of a goddess, couldn't she?
You know it right from birth, right?”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart:
"But... the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Goddess turns out to be lonely, so wouldn't it be even more lonely when she was above the Nine Heavens in her previous life? Ahem... Zhao Ziyu, don't think about it."
Zhao Rong just couldn't help but think of the little thing that accidentally fell out of a beautiful woman's couch under a beautiful widow in the pavilion next to the bath in the Imperial City's Guanghan Palace not long ago.
thing……
It really makes people think a little bit.
What, didn't you say that Dugu Chanyi explained it to him at the time... Looking back, Zhao Rong still felt that it was still open to question, mainly because the timing was too coincidental.
Moreover, the Queen Mother is no ordinary beautiful woman. She is very good at acting and pretending to be stupid. Soft-hearted men will be deceived by her innocent appearance if they are not careful...
But even if he had doubts and didn't believe it, he would never have the opportunity to ask her for answers in the future... He still remembered the scene when he almost failed to reveal his true feelings that day.
At this time, in the field of vision of the fat little Li Nu, the young Confucian scholar sitting on the steps was quiet for a while, then suddenly stood up.
He held a fist in front of his abdomen with one hand, held up the hem of his robe with the other hand, turned around, and climbed up the steps.
Climb to the top of the Temple of Heaven.
The fat little divorced girl was a little confused. Could it be that he, a Confucian scholar, had a sudden interest in poetry, as written in the books that his sisters liked to read, and what was happening like a spring?
So the little girl tilted her head and asked, not understanding:
"Sir, are you seriously ill?"
Tone concerned.
Zhao Rong said nothing and stood at the highest point of the Temple of Heaven, looking into the distance.
Above, is the bright moon.
Below, there is a wasteland full of nine-day moon flowers.
The young Confucian scholar raised his eyelids and carefully looked at the clothes of the young divorced girl in front of him.
The fringed temples, the center of the eyebrows, the invisible right shoulder, and the left slender waist should all have different kinds of red flower forehead stickers, as well as a gauze skirt as white as snow...
The Band Division also has a unified crescent moon ceremony.
"Do you believe in fate?" he suddenly asked.
The ancient motto "Two separate bright moons, leave and return home" has been circulated in Li for a long time. It is the creed of the Li girls in the crescent moon. This is no longer a secret in Da Li, and many Da Li people have gradually become firm.
Similar beliefs…
The identity of a Xian Yue Li Nu is not stable. If it violates the iron rules, such as being involved in the love between a man and a woman, or breaking away from the Xian Yue Li Nu's identity due to other reasons.
Then all these traces must be completely erased by the orchestra department, and it must be ensured that the white jade of Crescent Moon Li Nu who serves the bright moon is flawless and cannot be stained.
I heard from the empress that she founded the music studio Si Xian Yue Li Nu to continue an ancient tradition of the ancestors of the Li tribe in ancient times.
According to the legend, the ancestors of Li Di also had a similar selection process, selecting only the best women among the Li tribe. They also had no surnames, only a unified title. However, this title has also been compared with the ancestors of Li tribe who ascended to the Moon Palace.
Together, they were lost in the long river of history and became some kind of secret.
